with following EEG abnormalities in resting EEG or EEG under

provocative techniques will be rejected for aircrew duties: -

(a) Background Activity. Focal, excessive and high amplitude beta

activity /hemispherical asymmetry of more than 2.3 Hz/generalized

and focal runs of slow waves approaching background activity in

amplitude.

(b) Hyperventilation. Paroxysmal spikes and slow waves/spikes/

focal spike pattern

(c) Photo Stimulation. Bilaterally synchronous or focal paroxysmal

spikes and slow waves persisting in post-photic stimulation period/

suppression or driving response over one hemisphere.

Non specific EEG abnormality will be acceptable provided opinion

of Neuropsychiatrist / Neurophysician is obtained. The findings of
